About this project

All Together Now is a gorgeous book of photographs and first person narratives/interviews with a diverse range of notable women making music today. It’s a bit of a hybrid - equal parts pop cultural anthropology document and fine art book.

For the last two years, photographer Audra Marie Dewitt traveled to select cities across America, photographing and talking to women in music, some of whom are pretty well known (Corin
Tucker, Exene Cervenka, Amanda Palmer, Peaches, Miho Hatori) and some of whom
are simply unsung heroes of their genres (Toody Cole, Jean Knight, Pamela Z). What emerged from these photographs and conversations was truly remarkable and many musicians opened up in ways that were poignant, surprising, and enlightening. The result is a collection of photos and text that is inspiring, and deeply infused with a certain ‘can-do’ spirit of perseverance and
practicality.

The funds from Kickstarter will be used to pay for design, printing, and distribution for the book. Every donation is appreciated!

FAQ

There are a lot of really important reasons this book exists! But I actually just wrote a blog piece for the project about this very topic, complete with links and a song. So, scroll up and look at 'update number 2.' There you shall find your answer.

Sure is! Come to The Uptown Nightclub in downtown Oakland (very close to 19th St Bart). on Thurs July 12, 2012 from 7-12. $10-20 suggested sliding scale cover, with all proceeds going to the kickstarter campaign and book! No one turned away from door, since we are way too punk ethos for that. There will be: curated playlists, booze, friends, fun, merch for sale, and a digital copy of the book on my hand for previewing! The Uptown is @ 1928 Telegraph Ave, right near 19th St. BART in downtown Oakland. Come say hello! I'd love to meet you!
